Tender Terms Bar Route Diversion Claims | No Quantum Adjustment for Unforeseen Changes Unless Contract Allows : Gauhati HC
The Gauhati High Court held that explicit tender conditions prohibiting rate adjustments for route changes bind contractors, even when logistics become costlier. Contractors may still seek compensation under quantum meruit in civil court, but not through writ jurisdiction - reinforcing that public procurement contracts must be interpreted strictly by their terms.
